Lectura y enseñanza. Hacia una aproximación metodológica en la etapa de secundaria.

Abstract

This essay introduces a methodological approach which looks for efficiency in reading. Its main motivating agents are pupils belonging to Compulsory Secondary Education, a stage which is normally chosen by philologists in order to develop their professional career as teachers. This essay aims at approaching teachers to a different strategy of reading focused on its improvement. The first part makes an analysis on the situation of reading from a curricular viewpoint. This will be our perspective when we begin our teaching career. This curricular outlook shows the different laws and plans on education proposed by the government. This is the legal framework on which secondary school teachers have to base in order to teach. The second part of this essay focuses on an active methodology to be developed in the classroom. This methodology appears divided in different aspects used to make the work of the teacher easier, taking the proposed reading strategies into account. These parts can be minimized by letting the pupil give his or her opinion on the goals of this method. The third part would be a practical approach developed by a group of 2nd year students. The example chosen has to do with a novel written by Joan Manuel Gisbert. As we said before, these parts can be minimized or they can simply be done step by step.
